If I had an extra $1,000 to spend on my wedding, here’s where I’d put it 👀
💍 A videographer
Most couples prioritize photography (as they should!), but there’s something incredibly special about being able to hear the vows, watch the first dance, and relive the little moments you missed. Photos freeze a moment. Video brings it back to life. 🥹
💍 A DJ
This one is wildly underrated. A great DJ does so much more than hit play on a playlist. They read the room, keep the energy flowing, make announcements, and know exactly when to switch gears. The difference between a good dance floor and an unforgettable one is often the DJ. ✨
💍 Entertainment for the kids
Bounce houses, lawn games, coloring pages, scavenger hunts—anything to keep the littles busy and having fun. Trust me, you’ll appreciate it when you’re giving toasts and don’t have to compete with a toddler who’s having the loudest moment of their life. 😂
💍 An audio guestbook
I will never stop talking about these. Hearing your grandparents, parents, friends, and favorite people leave messages for you is such a gift. Years from now, you’ll be able to hear their voices exactly as they were on your wedding day, and that’s pretty priceless. 🤍
